For their 10th birthday Jack and Erica decided that they wanted to go to a Knicks game. With having Chandler for a father, they went to a lot of them ever since they were little. All of the kids were really into going.
"You're going?" Chandler asked, surprised.
Monica held on to Cooper's hand and opened the front door. "Only because it's our children's birthday."
He smiled. "Well great." He kissed her cheek and helped her get everyone into the car.
"Are we almost there?" 3 year old Cooper asked.
"Yeah buddy just a little bit longer." Chandler told him.
When they got there, Cooper sat on Chandler's lap so he could see better then Jack and Erica sat in between Monica and Chandler and Olivia was on the other side of Monica. They got drinks and snacks and were ready to watch the game.
Half way through, Cooper fell asleep on Chandler.
"This is the best ever." Jack said as the Knicks made another goal.
Chandler patted his back. "I agree son." Going to games with his kids, was something he always looked forward to and the fact that his wife wanted to come, made it that much better.
"Yeah and I bet they're going to win because it's our birthday." Erica said.
Chandler winked at her. "Me too princess." He looked over to Monica and Olivia who were watching intensely. "Are you guys having fun?" He asked.
9 year old Olivia nodded with a mouth full of hotdog.
"Yes Chandler. I don't know why I never come." She said.
At the end of the game, the Knicks had won by 10 points.
"That was the best game." Erica said in the car on the way home.
Monica and Chandler smiled at each other, they were glad they made another birthday great for Jack and Erica. Just like they tried doing for all of their kids. By the time they got home, all four kids were sound asleep in the back seat. So Chandler and Monica carried them inside and put them in their beds.
"We'll just do presents when they get up." Chandler said when he wrapped her in his arms.
"Ah a little while of time for ourselves." She smiled.
"Mhm." He rubbed her arms. "And I know just what we can do." He rubbed her back under her shirt.
She smiled against his lips when he kissed her again, this time she deepened the kiss which let Chandler know that she was in fact in the mood. So he pulled away from her, took her hand and led her into their bedroom.
A couple hours later, they were all in the kitchen ready for presents and cake.
When the presents were opened, Jack and Erica hugged their siblings and parents to thank them for their gifts.
"Now you call your grandparents and your aunts and uncles to thank them for what they got you." Monica said.
Jack got the phone and began dialing. Then he put it on speaker so Erica could talk as well.
"Why wasn't Aunt Rachel, Uncle Ross and Emma here anyway?" Erica asked.
Monica got the cake out of the refrigerator while Chandler got plates. "Because Emma is going to be a big sister any day now and your Aunt is so uncomfortable that she doesn't want to go anywhere."
Erica frowned. "That doesn't sound fun."
"Always remember that. Pregnancy is no fun." Chandler told her.
Monica chuckled. "Ok cake time." She put the cake on the table and then put the candles on it. The cake was chocolate and strawberry icing. Something that the kids all loved equally.
Chandler put the candles in and lit them. Then they all sang happy birthday.
As everyone ate cake, Chandler put his arm around Monica. "We sure do have amazing kids."
Monica nodded. "The best."
